expecting an ec-style bureaucracy (<g>) to do something like that seems unreasonable. what if one link is down for a day or a week (should a metric week have ten days?:-)? i suspect this is among the reasons the rirs use more administrative tests. all in all, it's a pain. One can't be too strict. I give them 2 months to fix. Then they get another email. Still not fixed - then they a registered postal letter. Of the 70 ASNs I have allocated since 1996, I have revoked 10 (and returned to the RIPE pool), 5 of which were this year. Its a pain, but unless ear LIR does it, then we will end up with the same problem we have with IPv4 address space.
i applaud your efforts and the results. randy
